Matt Gaetz Withdraws From Nomination For Attorney General

Matt Gaetz has withdrawn his name from nomination for the role of Attorney General under President-Elect Donald Trump’s administration.

The decision to withdraw from the nomination was announced by Gaetz on Twitter moments ago, with Gaetz stating that “it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition.”

“There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus I’ll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General. Trump’s DOJ must be in place and ready on Day 1.”

It is unclear at this time whom will be nominated in place of Gaetz for the role of Attorney General, or what Gaetz intends to do going forward, given the fact that he resigned from his position within the House.
